Yeah to make clear a few things
* It would be very stupid of us to do anything like this not open source
* I am actually evil and have a white cat
Also to broaden the debate a bit - one area potlatch can improve a
lot, and something we want to help, is editing existing data. Go to a
random area of the US and try using Potlatch to improve TIGER data,
especially in non-street-grid areas. You'll quickly figure out some
things it could do. I asked Richard for the thicker nodes / ways and
this has improved it somewhat (because you're no longer accidentally
dragging the background rather than nodes all the time).
Best
Steve
